A REALLY EXCELLENT COPY OF THIS RARE 1959 78 FROM JACK SCOTT ON THE UK LONDON LABEL
" I NEVER FELT LIKE THIS "
b/w " BELLA "
Jack Scott lived the American Dream. Scott was born in Canada, raised in Detroit, an Italian hillbilly who worshipped Hank Williams, and became a rock and roll star. Not well known among casual mainstream oldies listeners, Jack Scott had more US chart records than Eddie Cochran and Gene Vincent combined. Jack Scott reached #3 twice while Vincent's highest chart position was #7 and Cochran's was only #8 and Vincent and Cochran had two of the most legendary 50s rock classics of all-time.
Giovanni Sacfone Jr., was born January 24, 1936 in Windsor Ontario, Canada. His father, an accomplished guitarist, gave Jack a guitar and taught him how to play it around the age of eight. At the age of ten, the family moved to Hazel Park, MI.
From his early teens Scott shouldered the burden as older brother to a family of seven boys and girls. Jack labored at assorted humble tasks to help out, gasoline attendant; truck driver; errand boy. Life was not easy, but all the while the young, muscular Scott strummed his guitar and doted on the sounds of country music streaming over the radio lines into the modest home in Hazel Park, Michigan.
At the age of 18, he formed the Southern Drifters and early pictures show them in fancy cowboy shirts and neck scarves.. After leading the band for three years, in 1957 when Scott was 21, Joe Carlton, head A&R man at ABC-Paramount Records, signed him to a solo contract. His first sides for ABC-Paramount in 1957 exhibited a profound country-rock synthesis. Three 1957 singles (including the hot "Two Timin' Woman") did well regionally (Detroit and Cleveland), but failed to break out nationally do to lack of promotion.
In early 1958, Carlton decided to start his own independent label so he bought out Scott's contract and signed him to his Carlton label. While there Carlton allowed him to use his regular band from Detroit. While there he recorded a song recorded a song about a friend who was always getting thrown in jail "Greaseball.' Renamed "Leroy" when it was released. Debuting on Billboard's pop chart June 9, 1958 it would rise eventually reach #25..
All Scott's friends and his father knew "Jack had it"; it was a question only of getting the big break. That break came a few months later when some deejay flipped "Leroy" over and "My True Love" became a national hit reaching the #3 spot and staying on the top forty for 15 weeks. Thus developed the melting-pot miracle: A Canadian born, Italian hillbilly who worshipped Hank Williams and who soon sparked his own teen age band --- Scott played the guitar lead and vocals.
"I never felt like this" got to number 78 in the US Billboard charts in early 1959 and was his 7th chart success - It never made the charts in the UK and is a very hard to find 78!
